This November Agatha Christie's 1934 mystery novel, Murder on the Orient Express, gets adapted for the big screen once again as Kenneth Branagh directs an all-star cast which includes himself as infamous Belgium Detective 'Hercule Poirot'.

On a break between cases, Poirot becomes involved with the death of a fellow passenger and when the train is halted by snow sets out to prove the murderous culprit with the clues at hand.

These movie billboards were spied along La Cienega Boulevard, Wilshire Boulevard and Olympic Boulevard from October 13 to October 15, 2017.

Everyone's a suspect in this new feature film, but will the real crime be remaking this movie in the first place after Ingrid Bergman won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress in Sidney Lumet's 1974 version which garnered an additional five Academy Award nominations.

How many times can you retell the same story over and over, apparently lots, although whether cinema goers will buy their tickets to climb aboard this latest locomotive extravaganza is still to be seen.
